Same rig in my second pic just switched around.

White Lightning, is that a boiler+thumper+reflux? Was just thinking about that set up and wondering if anyone does it. Don't you have something like that Jed?
Seems odd to discuss such things in the presence of the Hoochinator.
Good Lord, Capt'n, that is some wild stuff. You got any old school gear?

Re: still porn
Yea the way I was running it that day that is what it was. I know there are several others running reflux on top of thumpers, Jarhead Shiner I think it is has a beautiful CCVM on a thumper. I only use it for AG so I dont have to squeeze out all the grain, clear stuff in the main boiler, milky grain slurry in the thumper.

Re: still porn
That's a beauty of a build. I have a quarter barrel keg I'm going to be using as a thumper this summer.DSM Loki wrote:I'll play. Mine isn't pretty or finished but this is what it looks like so far. The keg will be used as a thumper.

Mine is currently set up as a 15.5 gal keg with a single 3" perf plate and a 4' 3/4 over 1/2 liebig heated with steam for on the grain runs. Can also set it up as a 5 gallon pot or flute, 15.5 gallon pot or flute or 15.5 primary with 5 gallon thump with flute. Also have a steam wand made to steam cook mashes.

Re: still porn
Wow! Those are some AWESOME stills. Love the glass stuff! I never took a picture of my setup because it is pretty basic and boring but I'm working on a new rig and maybe I will post a pic here when I get it done.

Re: still porn
I have been busy building for several months now but the wife says a new kitchen and front porch take precedence. However I am near completion on my mad scientist experiment and did a water/steam only run a couple days ago so it will be finished soon. I will post a pic here and a build thread when I am confident it is worthy.captainshooch wrote:get busy building Cranky we all want to see it done

Ok I wanna play too.
This is my latest build. A four inch, 6 plate with valves. Two stage dephlegmator.
The power controller was based off of mulekicker's MK500 and the cooling tower for heat rejection.
This is the first still I built called her Pennie Lane. There are 6, 3 inch valve plates. 5000 Watt element in keg boiler. The computer allowed me to monitor 6 temperatures at once.This is my latest build. A four inch, 6 plate with valves. Two stage dephlegmator.

Wow Sungy... I'm speechless . . awesome kit! I have recently set one rig with 8 temps, boiler, 6 plates and top "u" bend. What software are you using on the laptop to monitor Temps? I am using Vernier, Logger Pro 3.

Re: still porn
The software is HVAC Pro. The controller is a Johnson Controls (AS-UNT 111-1). They are used in HVAC building automation.
This was the first control center I made. The temperature monitoring was helpful to me when I first started stilling.........WHY?.....Because I can......

My hat off to everyone, these are all pieces of art. I cherish the nostalgic look...and being an engineer, I envy the high tech. Many are "tried and true", as faithful as the old hunting dog. Some are exploratory, as if seeking out now territories.
There are as many different designs as there are builders and they're all unique...like snowflakes.
Great job all!

Funny how I bet many of these are leaning in the corner of the shed as we make new bigger better rigs.. I am a modular fan for that reason..
